Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "2016 Recreational Activities, Psychosocial Services, Livelihoods for Eritrean Refugees in Ethiopia Non-Competing Application" (Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPAF 16 004) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (DOS-PRM) announcement meant specifically for organizations that already hold a related multi-year PRM cooperative agreement and need to apply for the second year of that existing award. It is not framed as an open, competitive solicitation for brand-new applicants; instead, it functions as the formal vehicle for a continuation (non-competing) application, with the expectation that recipients follow the continuation requirements that were built into their original award.
The program focus, as reflected in the title, centers on support for Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia through a mix of recreational activities, psychosocial services, and livelihoods programming. While the posting itself does not lay out detailed program models or required activities, the intent implied by the title is to sustain and build upon interventions that address wellbeing and social functioning (psychosocial services), constructive community engagement and safe use of time (recreational activities), and economic resilience or self-reliance (livelihoods). Because the announcement is tied to a continuation year, the proposed work is generally expected to align closely with the approved objectives, geographic footprint, and implementation approach established in the original multi-year project, with adjustments justified by performance to date, updated needs, or operational realities.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency compared with a standard grant. In practical terms, that usually means the recipient should anticipate active coordination with PRM on key elements such as planning, reporting, monitoring, and any significant modifications to scope, budget, or targets. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" under CFDA (now commonly referred to as assistance listing) number 19.517, which corresponds to refugee assistance-related programming managed by PRM.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The notice does not specify the number of expected awards in the posting, which is consistent with continuation announcements where the universe of eligible applicants is already defined by existing award holders rather than by an anticipated pool of new applicants.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was created and posted on February 5, 2016, with an application deadline of May 17, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The most important instruction in the description is that applicants must rely on the non-competing application requirements set out in Section 9 of their existing award, which contains Special Award Conditions. Those Special Award Conditions govern what must be included in the year-two submission and how it should be structured, and the announcement also points applicants to the "Announcement Information" section for additional application instructions. In other words, the continuation package is expected to be compliant with the award-specific conditions already negotiated and documented, rather than solely with generic guidance.
Overall, this posting is best understood as a continuation-year submission requirement for current PRM partners implementing services for Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia, with funding and approval contingent on meeting the non-competing continuation conditions, demonstrating acceptable progress, and submitting materials in the form and detail required by the original cooperative agreement and the notice instructions.
